Social engineering is the art of manipulating people into performing actions or divulging confidential information. While similar to a confidence trick or simple fraud, the term typically applies to trickery for information gathering or computer system access and in most cases the attacker never comes face-to-face with the victim.

But it should be obvious that you should give away your password. Like we all see the sign in our emails saying dont give out your password. And is social engineering not the lazy version of a phishing scam?
